Beware of the Classification Trap: Independent Contractor v. Employee
OADA Webinar
REGISTER HERE!
Do you struggle with how to classify your personnel that seem to fit into a gray area? Are they independent contractors, or employees? Does it really make a difference? What are the consequences if I make a mistake? Get the answer to these questions and more as we welcome Melanie Webber from Fisher Phillips, as we delve into the topic of independent contractors v. employees.
Every employer must face and resolve the question of whether its labor force is comprised of employees or independent contractors. Misclassifying employees in the wrong category has significant and dire consequences. Failing to properly classify workers subjects an employer to civil penalties, class actions, fines and the assessment of back taxes, among other consequences. Additional costs can also arise when misclassified workers, who would otherwise be entitled to employee benefits, haven’t been provided those benefits.
Presented by Melanie Webber from Fisher Phillips, this is a webinar that you want to make sure your HR Manager attends! Melanie is a partner in the Cleveland office of Fisher Phillips. She counsels employers on a wide array of human resource, employment law and labor issues. Melanie has significant traditional labor law experience representing employers in union organizing campaigns, unfair labor practice charges and labor arbitrations. Melanie also represents employers before administrative agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission (OCRC).
